8-bit floppy-based BBSes -  Amazing that they were a thing. GA Ellsworth ran 
Pure Nihilism, and later Cool Beans! BBS on an Apple // and had people 
calling *after* he moved from the midwest to San Francisco. Back when LD 
charges were a thing.

I think he had a clock, and lower case support. I do remember how odd it 
looked in 40 columns on Procomm Plus.
